The war has hit the motion picture theaters very hard and a large percentage of the smaller houses will no doubt be driven out of business. There is the tax on seating capacity, ranging from $25 to $10- There is a new tax on admissions there is the war income tax and the surtax on profits.

In addition to these extraordinary burdens of taxation there is a village license of $200, state fire marshal's license, and every thing needed for the motion picture enter- tainment has gone up in price. The cost of raw stock has increased, the cost of production has increased, the operating expenses have increased. Labor costs more than ever and is becoming scarcer and more expensive all the time. The management of this theater pro- poses to meet its obligations to the government cheerfully and con- scientiously. The increase in the price of admission has been as light as possible and was decided on after a long hesitation and only when it became absolutely necessary if we wanted to stay in business Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments remove the cause of your illness and health is the result so all may be well and happy.
